 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

Kenny Loggins criticizes use of his song in AI Trump video, calling it 'designed to divide us'

Kenny Loggins has voiced strong opposition to President Donald Trump’s latest AI-generated video.

The musician, famous for hits like “I’m Alright,” “This Is It,” “Footloose,” and “Danger Zone,” responded Monday after Trump posted a video on Truth Social Saturday night that used snippets of “Danger Zone.” The AI video depicted Trump piloting a fighter jet while dropping what appeared to be feces on demonstrators at “No Kings” rallies.

“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone,’” Loggins said in a statement on his official website. “Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video be removed immediately. I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us.”

He added, “Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ — that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”

As of Monday, the video featuring “Danger Zone” remained on Trump’s Truth Social page. Loggins joins a long list of musicians who have objected to the use of their songs in Trump-related content, including the Foo Fighters, Beyoncé, ABBA, Sinead O’Connor, Isaac Hayes (via his estate), and The White Stripes.

In a related note, comedian Theo Von recently requested that the Department of Homeland Security stop using a video of him in promotional material for deportation efforts. Trump, meanwhile, responded to protests at “No Kings” rallies, saying he is “not a king” and works “a– off to make our country great.”
